John,

Our CDF Freedom Schools® scholars can say it better than I ever could: thank you.

Thank you cards created by scholars at the Florida A&M University (FAMU) CDF Freedom Schools program site.

This summer, our generous donors helped 7-year-old Ryleigh develop a love of reading that will last a lifetime, enabled Jaylen to understand that young people have the power to make change, supported scholars in North Carolina as they jumped up three reading levels in six weeks, and introduced eighth-grader Dei to stories of people and moments not often taught in school by making the CDF Freedom Schools program possible in 72 cities across the country.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting CDF and helping ensure every child in America has what they need to thrive.
